Tired of staying at your typical cookie-cutter hotel? Want something different from a commercialized villa?

1. Feel like a mermaid at this Water Villa

Do you love water? Is soaking in cool calm water your favourite pastime, and you wish you were born a mermaid?

Location: Jalan Kayu Aya, Kuta, Bali, Indonesia

Have you always had a secret wish to escape to the middle of nowhere?

This secluded little treehouse lodge in Balian village located along the coastline offers you the best privacy you can imagine.

You have no direct neighbours, apart from the garden and the ocean.

Built as a private holiday home by a Holland-based photographer, the “mushroom villa” (as the locals call it) gives you a very homely experience, different from a typical villa or resort stay.

From the veranda overlooking the huge garden and palmtrees, you can watch the sunrise in the morning, and enjoy the view of the ocean.

You even have a private pool in the garden!

The decor of the house is mostly natural – such as driftwood picked up from the beach.

Everywhere you need to get to within the village is within walking distance, but you can also rent a bike to sightsee outside the village. Nice and affordable local food is also available at the night market nearby.

The beach is also readily accessible via a small dirt road from the house.

Location: Bukit, Bali, Indonesia

4. The Impossible Villa On Stilts – Nomad Villa Impossible

Villa Impossible is one that really lives up to its name.

Standing precariously on stilts alongside one of Uluwatu’s famous high cliffs, this six bedroom villa is a dream come true for beach lovers.

You can sit on the balcony and enjoy 180-degree views of the beautiful Uluwatu ocean, while listening to the waves lapping at your feet.

Access to the beach is easy. Every part of Villa Impossible has been designed to make the most of the gorgeous beach surrounds, with enormous sliding doors in bedrooms and open living spaces – to remind you the the sand and sea is within arm’s length!
